Biography
Tite Apaiatrus was born in the Etruscan port city of Cisra, which was a subject of the larger city-state of Veii. In 399 BC, his city was conquered by the Roman Republic, which left it culturally Etruscan and without a garrison as the Romans attempted to conquer Veii itself. Apaiatrus, already a notable in Cisran society, rallied support for an anti-Roman uprising with the goal of restoring Veiian independece with Cisra as the new capital. However, this revolution was not to be, as the Roman general Lucius Furius Medullinus brought him to battle at Bocceum (halfway between Cisra and Rome) and destroyed his small army. Apaiatrus was slain in the battle, and, not long after, the Etruscans of Veii were assimilated into the Roman culture, and public disorder died down.
